1. Basic Information Player: Brothers receiving attention from multiple J-League academy scouts (4th grade & 6th grade) Today’s focus: Younger brother (4th grade) Timing: Pre-tournament adjustment (before the Tobigiri Tournament) Format: One-on-one private session 2. Main Concerns Based on the parent interview, there were three main issues: After receiving the ball, there are moments with no clear passing options Improving long-range shooting in match situations Improving accuracy on direct volleys from bouncing balls (including half-volleys) 3. Key Points Confirmed in the Pre-Session Interview Situations where “no passing option” occurs (receiving position, distance to opponents, teammates’ movement) When long-range shots are taken (moments when space opens, moments when pressure arrives) Which […]

1. Basic Information Grade: 3rd grade (Elementary School) Position: Not fixed (still developing) Main Issues: Playing one-touch passes too often / Not knowing where to move (positioning), resulting in limited involvement with the ball 2. Main Concern During matches and training sessions, the player often plays the ball one-touch immediately upon receiving it.

Pre-Session Interview (Progress So Far) From his father, we received positive feedback on recent progress: “He has started doing self-training,” “His movement looks more […]

1. Basic Information Grade: 8th grade (Junior High School, Year 2) Position: Midfielder (MF) Goal: Secure a permanent starting position Background: Playing under a traditional-style coach; technically skilled but struggling to fully establish himself as a regular starter 2. Main Challenge While he has begun to score consistently, he needs to deliver results more steadily and become a player the team can truly rely on. Although his technical quality is high, the elements that tend to be most visible to coaches during matches—such as competitiveness, decisiveness, and strength in key moments—are not fully reflected in his evaluations. 3. Pre-Session Interview A strong feeling that the reason he cannot secure a […]
